Also, don't forget the club meeting and Chili Contest
this Saturday at the CSPS Hall (see below).
- Al
Club Meeting – Saturday, March 8, 2008 1-4pm
Fifth Annual Chili
Cook-Off and Swap Meet
CSPS Hall, 383 Michigan St., St.
Paul
Once again, Greg Van De Mark will be organizing the Chili
Cook-Off!
There are three categories in which you can
enter:
Red Chili – meat, but NO beans
Vegetarian Chili – no
meat
Open – meat, beans, green, whatever
We'll be trying
something new this year. Instead of having chili judges, we'll have
everyone vote on their favorite for each category and then have everyone vote on
their favorite overall. The winner of each category gets a prize and the
overall winner gets a prize and the honor of bringing home the Chief Chili
Pepper trophy!
You can help out by bringing your chili ready to eat
in crock pots and bringing along extension cords and serving utensils.
Bowls, spoons, and napkins will be provided.
The March meeting also
features a swap meet. There are people that may want items you no longer
need. You may find items yourself that will help upgrade your brewing
operation.
Jonathan Crist and I will be doing a Doctored Beer and
Beer Aroma demonstration for the Technical Topic this month. There will be
a prize for who is able to identify the most correctly.
Also,
elections will be held this month. The current board members (Al
Boyce-Vice President; Paul Dienhart-Secretary/Treasurer; and Gera Exire
LaTour-President) are willing to run again this year, but new officers are
welcome. Let me know if you are interested in running.
Of
course we welcome all the home brew you would like to bring to the meeting,
especially beers that go well with chili. We even like mead and
ciders.
Come to the March meeting! There are lots of fun things to see
and do!
Gera Exire LaTour
President, MHBA
